The accounts aren't completely separate, it's the same login on all sites and content is shared. But Prime subscriptions are separate.

It's not true, Chrome works that way, but not Edge.

Seems privacy is less of a concern in countries with privatized healthcare, I don't understand that last sentence. Is it some kind of political shibboleth?

"Turn site into desktop app" is a Chrome feature, and has been for many years. Chrome calls it "Create shortcut - Open as window". Website translations and the profiles UI is very similar to Chrome as well.

Wow, I'm outraged now. Arrgh! They shouldn't offer this option for Xbox, then, because of another unrelated thing you're angry about!

"The spam issue" demonstrably didn't get better, what are you talking about.

We have to "commend" him for saying that he wanted to buy Twitter and then (after some legal troubles) following through? Why?

"every X time" meaning as often as you're willing to point your phone at a satellite and wait a few minutes for your location to transmit?

There were plenty of really cheap streaming boxes and sticks even at the time, an HDMI input for cable TV not being the future was very obvious in 2013.

If that were the end-goal, what's the point of operating their current business at all? Seems like a waste and entirely pointless. And why wouldn't some other company without all the current baggage needed for operating a taxi ser

Plenty of sites do, at least in Europe.

Is this supposed to be some kind of new discovery?

Netflix is limited to 720p if you use anything but Edge or the Store App on Windows for arbitrary DRM reasons (PlayReady DRM).

They're all operated by partners. Flixbus only owns a single bus they use for PR purposes.

Wait, running a huge deficit spending program in a booming economy boosts that economy even more? Is that really considered "impressively effective" these days? I don't think so. It's bad governance.

What quality? A buggy version of Chrome (the start page has been broken multiple times, for example) with tons of half-baked extra features?

And then Edge will pop up the "suggestion" to change the search engine back to Bing with regularity.

They're not all for internal links to OS-related information hosted on the web, though. The start menu search will always open a Bing search in Edge, for example - doesn't matter what your default search is set to. Why are you wri

Plenty of Windows laptops with good quality IPS screens were available 10 years ago, even 13" models. And I primarily remember pre-Retina Apple for only offering laptops with very low screen resolutions.

Wow, sounds like we should cryptographically sign all replacement parts for anything, they could come from a stolen product after all! That aftermarket car bumper? Sorry, can't use it, might come from a stolen vehicle.
